I have taken the big 3 for Mac but have become very allergic to Azythromyacin after 18 months. My ID doctor has no solution for me. I mentioned Arikayce and he said that it’s a very hard drug to take and would make me sick.
Any comment would be appreciated.
Thank you

Arikayce was way easier for me than the Big 3. It never made me sick and cured my MAC. Another option for you in lieu of Azithromycin would be Clarithromycin. I am surprised that wasn’t mentioned to you. Good luck! Irene5

Inhaled Arikayce was a game changer for me. It's what has kept me stable and shrunk a 10 cm cavity to 4. I'd either demand your doctor hook you up with Arikayce or get a different Infectious Disease doctor.
